President. I believe I first addressed the Chair. and then I certainly will be glad to carry on a debate with the Senator from Florida. I have been here a long time dealing with this issue of illegal immigration. It is a thankless job. It is politically incorrect but getting more politically correct all the time because the people of America wonder. really. in this instance perhaps more than in any other. whether we really "get it." That is the popular phrase: "Get it." They get it. The polls have shown for years that they are in favor of limiting benefits to Illegal immigration and illegal immigrants. It is very critical that we should respond to them. But we do not. Now we are in the situation where there are ugly. ugly waves of something "out there" where people want to do something and we have to be very careful. I am enjoying very much working with the Senator from California . who has taken a vital interest in this. and she is working on asylum issues. refugee issues. all of the aspects that go with it. It is very complex. and yet it is rather simple. And the simplicity of Senator ExoNs amendment is very special. We are not talking about refugees. We are not talking about asylees. We are not talking about permanent resident aliens.
